Default Finished my L-Tuned Stage 2... Pics!

Here is the completed project after months of tracking down and obtaining everything I needed to have a official L-Tuned Stage 2 package. Got the emblems put on today and got her washed up, let me know what you think.









My girlfriend hooked me up with the personalized plates for my birthday after deciding that i was a certified L-Tuned fanatic. I guess she's right cause I even have a set of the 17" Superturismo's in the basement to serve as winter tires.

Here is the breakdown straight off of lexus.com

[L-Tuned's Series 1 Package is comprised of a body kit, one of three wheel/tire combinations and special L-Tuned badging. The body kit, made of durable polyurethane, includes side skirts and a unique body-color grille surrounded with a laser-cut mesh insert.

The Series 2 Package includes the Series 1 components plus performance shocks and springs, a re-calibrated steering ECU and stainless steel mufflers with polished tips for a sportier look.

With each package, GS 300/400 owners will have the choice of three different wheel and Z-rated tire combinations:


17" x 8" OZ Superturismo Alloy Wheels with Michelin Pilot Sport Tires (235/45Z)
17" x 8" OZ Superturismo Alloy Wheels with Michelin XGTZ4 All-Weather Tires (235/45Z)
18" x 8" (front), 18" x 9.5" (rear) OZ Alloy Wheels with Michelin Pilot Sport Tires (235/40Z, front and 265/35Z, rear) ]

Yeah, on the Blue... That color was my first choice being a Gator fan and all... but couldn't pass up on the Cinnabar I found in such great condition... and I love the gold that comes out in the sun...

Thanks guys for the compliments! Yeah I had to have a blue 400. I've really come to love the Cinnabar and the L-Tuned package looks really sweet on your car The only thing I don't like about the blue is that I haven't figured out how to get a good pic of it yet. It seems like it's too sunny or too dark to get a good shot of the whole car.

Similar problem with the Cinnabar too... no picture shows the gold flake in the paint regardless of angle or light... looks great in person though.
